I brought a snail from the outside (a partner for Margo to play with) but it seems to have a small white spot on the neck and the neck is a bit swollen..I can't take a picture of it, but as the snails body is transparent i can see it in there...i am affraid to sit it into Margos tank yet..do you think it's infected with something?

also, the mantel is a much different colour then the body, it's a bit whiter, and the body is clean and transparent, just like Margos (if you don't count that white little spot on the neck)

Most of the times you'll be seeing the mites crawling on the outside of the snail.Without any pics its really hard to tell whats going on.....

ah, then it's not a mite for sure there is nothing crawling, it just IS there...i guess it's a genital after all...the thing is, i put it with margo and margo is still small...she doesn't seem to be ready..also, she doesn't even seem to care about him...all in all i just hope they will get along..have you ever had problems of them getting to live together?..Margo seems to be used to being alone, now she acts like he isn't welcome..she crawled over him and away from him, giving him a fright ..(he's a bit bigger then her and she forced him to hide, she's a real bitch at times)... |

I think they have to get used to eachother,once they know there's another snail around it should be ok.
